Excerpt from Studies of Cretaceous Coniferous Remains: From Kreischerville, New York Practically the same notes may also be found included in the final reports by these authors,5 but after the issue of these there followed a period of some forty years during which nothing of a scientific character appears to have been recorded, or at least published, in regard to the deposits or their accompanying organic remains. In 1881 Dr. Nathaniel L. Britton read a paper before the New York Academy of Sciences, entitled On the Geology of Richmond County, N. In which the Cretaceous age of the deposits in question is recognized as settled, and he says (p. 172) Lignite and pyrites are frequently found in the clay excavations. As the lignite dries, it cracks up into little pieces, thus destroying the texture of the fossil wood composing it, and making it very diffi cult to retain good specimens. No fossil leaves or shells have been taken from the clays but it is not improbable that they will be found at some future time, when the excavations are more advanced than at present.
